GI Joe Rise of the Cobra

What to say, what to say? GI Joe was an entertaining movie. There was tons of action, comic relief by Mr. Wayans, and of course there was cool special effects. This movie should be watched in theatres, preferably in the afternoon.

I enjoyed the action and the corniness behind it. It is GI Joe, for it not to be corny would be ridiculous. I laughed out loud a few times. Brendan Fraiser made an awesome cameo which made me smile. Understand that one doesn't see this movie for Oscar winning acting or a best picture nominee. It is purely entertaining.

The bads... Channing Tatum. If I had an option of punching a celebrity it would most definitely be Meagan Fox but if I had a second it would be Brittney Spears, but if a third opportunity came along it would be Channing himself. The other bad is that when it came to computer animation I believe they got a little lazy or the producers didn't give out enough. The Sci-Fi stuff was cool but when it came to real things they did a crappy computer duplicate.

I give this movie a 7 out of 10 in the action genre. It is no Shia Lebouf movie. For a film as a whole, 6 out of 10. I'll give it to them, it was entertaining which I believe was their goal.

Summer Camp!!

Well, one week of summer camp down. I think it went pretty good, the first day was a rocky start, but good. I decided to get the kids there all safe, nobody was to badly injured except for scraped knees. Pastor Kyle and myself taught an all boys class, which was sprung upon us that day. Our last day we had a break down on our 5 foot high rock wall. The child would not move! He preceded to yell and shout and then he climbed higher instead of lower. Finally the problem was solved with a ladder only because we didn't have step stool. When I was his age I climbed to the top just to jump off.

Camp was fun, not a lot in the middle. The last day, the very end we are driving home. 3 years in a row e vantage hill has claimed our van and now I see myself face to face. Just like any other hill our van began to struggle, not unusual. We begin to creep up the monster and have almost summited the beast. "We did it," I said aloud. After hearing this I thought I heard a laugh, and then our van made a klunk noise and then we creeped to 25 mph then it turned off. The hill claimed our van for the 4th year in a row.

Just as I said in the previous blog I wanted a 95% return rate... which I achieved, only forgetting one person. I know, not bad for my first camp.
